I am in the middle of installing my fogs but I just don't know how the wiring is supposed to be, I heard it was supposed to be plug and play without any soldering or anything.



Here is a closer look to the wires, the ones where I don't know what to do with them. Sorry shitty bb phone pics






thanks in advance!

Ya, would like to know where you mounted it too. Because I've got HID's in my headlights, and want to do my fogs, but I used the spot hind the oil coolers for my headlight ballasts and don't know where I'd put the ones for this.

just put mine in today...HID in high beams and fogs...6K in low beams too
very bright i went with the 6K and i think it was the right choice
only problem is one of the fogs only comes on half the time and the other half it just buzzes for a second and never lights
anybody know whats going on??? need a new ballast??? took forever to get this one in

mine once when i took my bumper off i didnt plug in fully and it would twinkle and turn off and unplugged everything and replugged it in i say make sur all connections are good

if nothing swap balast with each other its usually always the ballast after that talk to the HID company to replace them cause its usually always that i have two friends blow a total of three ballast within a year and i have blown one also but never any bulbs though

I also mounted these on top of the oil coolers, its like the bracket was made for our car!

must be a bad ballast then i checked the connections again
also my bright lights light inside the car stays on all the time now too
wonder whats up with that? some kind of sensor?

mine did the exact same thing when it went out and everyone puts it in the same exact spot on the oil cooler lol i think its best there is like no vibration there and now have fun with the stupid HID companies they are annoying as hell the ones i had to deal with best of luck

slvrstreak

iTrader: (3)

yea so was it your ballast or wiring harness?
also anyone know why the bright lights light stays on inside the car?

Bright lights? Did you hit the switch on the dome light by chance?

slvrstreak

iTrader: (3)

no that light has just stayed on since i put in HID kits in my high beams and fogs
mayb some kind of sensor?

DavidR

I mounted the driver side on the oil cooler bracket, had to drill holes into it. For the passenger side, I'm embarrassed to say but I mount it onto the plastic underside thing. I couldn't find any other place to mount it, I'll put pictures up of it. I don't come on here often sorry for the late response!

In the beginning, sometimes my fogs would just randomly turn off while driving, but now I guess it settled in and I broke them in so they are good now. Before I would have to switch the fogs on and off like 4 times.
